Title: I bought a toy today! An action figure!
Post by: VTNewb on September 24, 2005, 09:53:39 PM
So I work at Gamestop while I'm at university. Today, while organizing the back room, I come upon a box way up high on the shelves, I had to get our tallest ladder and jump to grab it. It's filled with Robotech figures from 3 or four years ago. The things apparently were sold for 120 dollars back then. Ebay sense tingling I check the price now on our computer. 5 dollars. I bought one and checked ebay, yep, sell for 150 or more.

Sweet!

The toy itself is very cool. It's metal and plastic transformer with rubber tires. It's 15 inches or so long. It's box is a giant metal book with a magnetic cover so it oesn't have to use velcro to close. Seriously high quality toy.

I'm gonna buy them all tomorrow and make a killing.

Hey! I like those a lot, actually, any chance of you selling one to a fellow gstwinner (albeit, a rather new one), for a profit, but less than you'll make on ebay? Let me know, drop me a PM, please?

Thanks!
